I don’t have the words that would appropriately express how much I love this project. It highlights every talent God has given the Petersens; great lyrics, arrangements, performance, solo work, and harmony. I love the variety of styles, but most of all I love the messages shared in every song. May God continue to bless your work for many years to come.

what is soul music? if the soul was created by a Heavenly Father, then is not soul music that which allows the soul to commune with this Divine Deity? I submit that it is and that this wonderful group and their celestial music tops the charts! nuff said!

The Petersen’s long awaited faith based album, “Father, a moment with you”, was released on May 8th. It’s comprised of 11 songs, including 7 originals that showcase their vast song writing talents, and covers of classic Christian hymns like “How Firm a Foundation”.
The production is top quality; produced by Zeb Snyder, Katie Petersen and Emmett Franz, engineered by Dewey Boyd and Cory Halterman, mixed by Dewey Boyd, mastered by Adam Grover, with artwork by Parker Hale, and Pre-Production by bluegrass legend Ron Block.
The album covers the full range of emotions, struggles, hopes, and victories that we, as Christians, experience in our journey toward a closer walk with God. These songs will be great inspiration to people of faith, those in times of trouble, and those searching for meaning in life.
The lead vocals and harmonies are excellent, as usual with the Petersens. It’s rare that a band has 5 members who can sing lead, but the Petersens have that blessing, and each member presents a unique sound, from the smooth baritone of Matt, the beautiful sweet voice of Katie, to Ellen’s powerful classic country voice, the warm folksy sound of Emmett, and the unique “heavenly” weeping voice of Julianne; she always brings a tear to my eyes. The accompanying instrumentals across the board are excellent with the innovative arrangements and solos we have come to expect from the Petersens.
It’s rare that an 11 song album doesn’t have a weak song, but this recording is strong throughout. Of course, I have personal favorites: the Irish inspired “Overseer of my soul”, the title track “Father…” with its pure beauty, “Gonna Keep Prayin’”, with its up tempo encouragement, “Lord How Long?”, the a cappella gem “Not afraid of bad news”, “Garden Song” with Julianne vocals, great dobro and fiddle solos, and the Matt and Julianne duet “Where the Soul Never Dies”.
With every project, recording, and show the Petersens get better. This, in my opinion, is their best production so far. And that’s saying a lot given their past work, which is excellent.
As I listen to this album for the fourth time today, I have to wonder why the Petersens aren’t more famous. True, they are one of the most viewed artists on YouTube, and true they have a very loyal following among their many fans and patrons, which I am one. But the talent God has blessed them with, the hard work and commitment they’ve made to refine those talents to the glory of God, and their humility and kindness, warrants far more recognition and popularity. In my opinion they are on the cusp of even greater popularity, and this recording may be the genesis. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 NLT.

Father, A Moment with You is the single best album I’ve heard in over 40 years of listening to music. It deserves a Grammy and a Dove award.
